Modifying Zsp.conf On The Base Switch - HP bh5700 User Manual

When using a Linux Bonding driver on the node card, the bonding driver should be configured
for Mode 1 (active/standby). See the Linux Bonding documentation at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bonding/ for complete information.
The two Base switches will be configured as Surviving Partners, using VRRP to form a single
virtual interface to the hosts, as will the two Fabric switches. The ports can be configured many
different ways, with blocks of ports configured as vans. The configuration is set up in the zsp
configuration file, zsp.conf.
NOTE: The actual name on the system may change slightly from zsp.conf, depending on
current release requirements.

Modifying zsp.conf on the Base switch

An example file for setting up zspconfig on an Ethernet Switch Blade is
/etc/rcZ.d/surviving_partner/zsp.conf. The following will document the default settings.
NOTE: It is unlikely that any installation will use this default script in production. You will
have to modify it to suit your network design.
On Switch A (Master), make a backup copy of zsp.conf, and edit zsp.conf:
cd /etc/rcZ.d/surviving_partner/
cp zsp.conf zsp.conf.save
vi zsp.conf
The first section uses zconfig to create the VLANs. Many of these choices are determined by
the physical configuration of the switch and ATCA backplane. For instance, the Base switch
interconnect will always be port 23, and the shelf managers will be ports 22 and 13.
zconfig zhp0: vlan100 = zre23;
zconfig zhp1: vlan1 = zre0..11, zre20..21, zre23;
zconfig zre0..11, zre20..21 = untag1;
zconfig zre23 = untag100;
The next section sets up the physical IP addresses to use for the Master and the Backup switch.
The Master provides the addresses to the Backup on a first come, first serve basis. Note that the
physical IP address should be different from the virtual IP address that spans the pair of switches.
Once configured, the pair appears as one connection point to other hosts on the VLAN. You need
to supply an IP address for each interface on each switch. The first IP address on each line is the
Master and the second is the Backup.
sibling_addresses: zhp0 = 100.0.0.30, 100.0.0.31 netmask
255.0.0.0;
